The leaves are alternate, deciduous and 4 to 7 inches long. Each leaf has 8 to 13 pairs of straight, parallel principal veins ending in a large, pointed (or rounded) tooth. Margins are coarsely serrated, teeth often slightly incurved, and the leaf texture is leathery. Leaves are a lustrous yellow-green above, and paler and finely hairy below. Autumn colors vary from yellow to orange-brown, and occasionally a deep wine color.
